“So many New York residents are looking to the state to develop a reasonable action plan to learn to live with the COVID-19 virus so we can finally release the pause button on our lives. We are among the highest in taxes, COVID-19 positivity rates and out-migration of residents. What New York is doing now isn’t working. We must address the failures of bail reform. Our communities continue to be burdened by emboldened criminals due to the inability of our justice system to hold accountable those who are choosing lawlessness. I encourage Gov. Hochul and my colleagues to keep this in mind as we move forward in the next several months.”
